FULL DISCLOSURE:
The review part of this video is not sponsored nor did I receive any money to review the item. While I sometimes get bags for free, I have to pay custom fees, shipping fees and all my videos have lots of production costs (e.g. software and music rights). Therefore I invest my own money into all of these videos and I have no intention to be biased towards a product or company. Every review and quicklook is written by me and no company can pay for preferential scheduling or what is said in the video. Furthermore, the company sees the video the same time as all viewers here on youtube. All opinions in this video are my own unless stated otherwise.

HOW I REVIEW:
As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW:
A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively.
AFFILIATE LINKS:
No matter if I like or dislike a product, I want to make it easy for you to check out the product yourself. Therefore I include a link of the productpage. If marked with a star *, that link is an affiliate link, meaning if you buy the product via the link you DO NOT pay more, but you will support the channel.

Very good idea to secure the fidlock. As you say, in hot weather it is better to wear it in the waist. Very nice sling bag.
Thanks for watching, Jose 😉✌️
I’m a new parent and a fanny pack has become an essential. It just works when you’re chasing a kid around! I use the Evergoods CAS2, but the Venture line is built great too. Thanks for the videos Bo - love them.
😂 I can imagine that a fanny pack is really important and useful when having a kid. Thanks for watching, Jaime
Hey have you tried the venture 2.5L? I want something bigger than this hip pack, but I know that one is meant to be worn as a sling and just wondering how comfortable it is worn on the hips. thanks for the vid
good vid
Thank you very much 😊✌️
Not a bad fanny pack but the choice of Fidlock makes it a no go.
You are sounding much better. Hope there are no lasting effects of COVID.
Thanks, mate. Yes, I am much better after covid.
Hey mo, whats your go-to secondary backpack? as in a day pack for traveling streets
while leaving ur main bag at hotel?
I use my fanny bag alot during summer when im out surfing and stuff to always have all my important things (key/phone/papper ) near reach and in one place.
The problem with the magnetic closure is useless, a thief would never put his hands in your bag but would directly cut the belt and take it away.
I think hip packs look cool if worn to the side rather than in front. I'm kind of waiting for them to lose the stigma they have because I would totally wear one but really don't want that stigma attached to it.
Yeah, there is still a stigma on fanny packs. But it's slowly becoming popular again. At least it feels like it for me 😂
@@paniq-522 that might be the case as well 😂
Good hack on the fidlock.
Yeah, I might add an elastic band to all fidlocks in the future
Hi. will this fit Samsung ultra device or Samsung Fold phones
The ending had me dying lmao did not expect that. Automatic Sub haha
Haha thanks. Appreciate the sub ✌️😊
Great review , just purchased one , midnight colour hopefully goes well
Was about to type a quedtion when the video played the segment on the x100 inside the bag. Did you have a filter on the camera? Also, any more space beside the camera when inside the main compartment?
I also have the same question. Looking for something small to carry my X100V, extra battery, wallet, keys, AirPods, and maybe a small power bank.
I have this pack and I use it as a sling/cross body bag. The fidlock has never once disengaged. It’s a fine little pack.
cause you are beta male. with real men it disengages.
When regular walking the fidlock never opened itself. For me it's rather those unfortunate bumps: for instance on a motorcycle with heavy gloves it actually did happen (not on this bag specifically) that I bumped against a fidlock whilst wanting to adjust the bag position. It opened whilst riding. That is why I do not trust most fidlocks on very important straps. V buckle style fidlocks are the best imho
@@Youknowthebo to be honest sometimes it doesnt even open easy if the load on tyhe bag gets too heavy. i love the bag but i hate fidlock.
Lol as a Fitness Walker and Bicyclist I use a hip pack-fanny bag all the time. Some of my running and cycling tights don't have big enough pockets. (I wear compression tights on my walks-runs I got a bad knee and arthritis and I need the support and I wear a compression sleeve over my knee as a precaution)
Lately I have gone "High Tech" I got a couple of specialized "belts" for when I go walking-running they are made to carry a water bottle and have a elastic loop for keys and a space for a mobile phone which is important because I use a fitness app to track my pace, distance and time and to listen to music.
The one I use most often is called Flip Belt I use their water bottle and wallet when I go out to exercise.
But something like this for going out or doing errands is nice, I don't need doggie bag but I bring a reusable shopping bag with me sometimes in case I want to pick up a few items from the store.
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience. My neighbor is bicycling a lot and he also has those specialist belt packs.
Wonderful Video Bo! Super helpful!
Thanks, Eric
Wasn’t a fan of ‘funny’ packs but i do love my Bellroy hip bag. It holds so much and i love not having a bag across my body. I love the material and the look. Makes me feel like i am not wearing a fanny pack…but, the fidlock does make me feel less secure about it sitting on my hips. Great idea with strap keeper.
Totally agree. Thanks for watching 😉 ✌️
The fidlock ruined it for me
I get that. But the solution with the elastic band is working pretty well from my experience
I also like zippers on an inside pocket or two.
Agreed ✌️😉
Looks like a great little pack! I’m also looking for a minimalist wallet for about 10 cards and cash capacity. Do you have any recommendations?
As you might have seen in this video I use the Ekster parliament wallet. It's the one I use the most. And I currently carry five cards in the aluminum main compartment (but one card has raised numbers and therefore counts as two. So overall you can fit six cards in that main slot), two cards in one of the slots outside. There are two more slots into which you can also fit two more cards per slots. There is a money band for bills. If you want a compact wallet then check out the Ekster in this video ua-cam.com/video/qiVYmWqVv-I/v-deo.html
That being said, ten cards plus cash is a lot and might make the compact wallet unnecessary big. Depending on how many bills you want to carry. Therefore I might recommend to check out one of the billfold from Bellroy
@@Youknowthebo thanks I appreciate the advice.
@@anthonyrampino7734 you're very welcome. Let me know if you have any more questions
@@Youknowthebo I sure will!
@@Youknowthebo I do have another question. I’ve been looking for a backpack that’s good for edc and gym stuff. Can you recommend some?
